Chapter 102 91. The Transformation of Liu Ruoxue_3
At this moment, Xu Yuan had just returned to the door of his room and pushed it open.
The moment the door opened, moonlight spilled in and shone on the cool and aloof young girl sitting on the chair.
Upon hearing the noise, Liu Ruoxue quickly lifted her head to look,
and after seeing him safe and sound, Liu Ruoxue sighed with relief.
"The Elder didn't give you a hard time, did she?"
Liu Ruoxue asked.
"No."
Xu Yuan shook his head with a smile, suggesting that rather than her giving him trouble, it was he who had given her a hard time.
He added, "However, I need to go out for a while, and when I come back, she might give me a hard time again."
"Is that so?"
After answering in a subdued voice, Liu Ruoxue suddenly composed herself from her previous anxious look, not looking at him anymore, her eyelids slightly drooping as she quietly stared at the ground.

This abrupt change in her startled Xu Yuan for a moment.
Soon, he realized the reason.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Yuan pretended as if nothing had happened, sat on the chair opposite her, and smoothly took her soft, boneless hand.
"Nothing."
Liu Ruoxue withdrew her hand from his without a change in expression, and spoke indifferently.
"Are you angry?"
"No."
Liu Ruoxue's face was tight, her eyes covered with a faint chill: "Why would I be angry?"
"You're angry because of how I acted toward those two in the hall earlier, aren't you?"
Xu Yuan moved to her side, supported her shoulder, and whispered in her ear with a smile.
"What's done is done, what's there to be angry about? After all, I'm not entitled to be angry,"
Liu Ruoxue said softly, her eyes lowered.
"I'm sorry,"
Xu Yuan knew it must be about that, he sighed, and said, "But you also know, the person I like is only you."
"Heh."
Unmoved, Liu Ruoxue spoke with self-mockery, "All this is for the greater good, right?"
"Ruoxue, I..."
Liu Ruoxue took the jade hairpin he had bought her in the morning out from her sleeve, interrupted him with a calm tone, and said, "I don't blame you. But I want you to personally put this on me."
"Alright."
Xu Yuan sighed.
But at that time, he couldn't take her into account.
Liu Ruoxue waved her hand to gather the moisture around her, forming a Water Mirror that hovered in front of them.
Then, she quietly watched him comb her hair, inserting the intricately patterned, glittering golden jade pendent between her locks.
She stared blankly into the Water Mirror at the breathtakingly beautiful woman with tiredness in her eyes, touched the tassels trailing from the top of the hairpin, and said softly, "This is enough, it's alright now. Since you're fine, I should leave."
Xu Yuan grabbed her wrist, "Ruoxue."
"Do you have anything else?"
Liu Ruoxue silently lowered her gaze, her tone cold, "Is there anything else you have to say? If someone sees us like this, it won't be good for either of us."
Xu Yuan knew if he let her leave now, it would definitely leave some thorns in her heart.
He pulled her toward him, turned her body around without a word, and bowed his head in silence.
There was no resistance, no shoving, but also no response.
Until her snow-white neck flushed pink and her breath grew hot.
Liu Ruoxue let him do as he wished without uttering a word.
Lips parted, the line broke.
Finally, Liu Ruoxue revealed a hint of a cold smile, "Is this all you can do?"
Her thick, black lashes were wet with tears, her face poignant.
The tassels on the golden jade pendent he had just fastened, swayed soundlessly, as if mocking.
"I'm sorry, I...."
Xu Yuan thought he was in for it, feeling a bit thorny.
He didn't understand why Liu Ruoxue, who was usually the easiest to deal with, was so difficult today.
He had already resolved the issue with the Guardian Yang Sha, and he even planned to try to use her Primordial Yin to break through to Core Formation.
But now it seemed there was no chance of that happening.
Although he could force it, Xu Yuan feared that she would make a commotion, and if that were to be discovered, it would be disastrous.
"You don't need to say sorry. After all, I chose all of this,"
Liu Ruoxue wiped away her tears.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She didn't know why she felt so upset today,
but when she saw him in the hall, holding Tian Liuli in his arms and touching Lin Qingque,
she suddenly felt a crushing pain in her heart, as if it were about to split open.
At that time, his eyes saw only those two.
Even though she knew it was a facade, she still found it hard to let go,
jealousy swelled in her chest to the point of madness.
Kill them, then flee this place with him, and if he resists, imprison him.
That way, he could only ever look at you.
Sitting here, reflecting on this afternoon's scene, a voice kept telling her this inside her head.
So, she had a realization.
Yes, if she were to imprison him, it would be just the two of them, and even to the end of time, he would always only look at her, heh heh heh.
Then... there would be no need to worry about experiencing this afternoon's events again.
After all, Xu Yuan also liked her, and no matter what she did, he would forgive her, wouldn't he?
He must have felt pain doing those things this afternoon, right?
"Ruoxue, I'm sorry."
Seeing her with a distracted expression and an unusual flush on her face, Xu Yuan quickly embraced her and the moonlight in his arms.
But in his eyes suddenly appeared a look of disbelief.
Just then, the system panel suddenly popped up with information again.
